- Taking a Picture of JUPITER Through my Telescope.
Telescope Used: bit.ly/3VryPzW
Camera Used (Newer Model): bit.ly/3RALqQ0
I connect a camera to my Celestron Edge HD 11 telescope to take a close-up picture of the planet Jupiter from my backyard!
Jupiter Opposition takes place on November 3, 2023. At this time, the Earth will be directly between the Sun and the Jupiter.
The final image is a stack of the best 1000 frames of 4000 taken with the ZWO ASI462MC.
Thank you for watching, and clear skies!

your the reason why i started Astrophotography, especially seeing vids like this. makes it seem so easy yet its a journey every night. i managed to get a decent shot of Jupiter a few weeks ago using the a basic scope and my phone.
Yea he was the reason too
I saw Saturn and it’s rings+it’s moon
😂❤❤❤
pppp
Same but I want a telescope too but i don't have enough money
0:45 _"...something changes in you after you see it"_
Absolutely true, for me. I remember vividly, the first time I saw Jupiter and the Galileans through my friend's very modest 60mm refractor back in Summer 1983. It was about 3am here in Scotland, and at that time of year it never really gets dark. It was almost daylight, but I can still remember that "wow!" moment even now. The feeling of "I'm looking at another planet!" was just awesome.
You are right about the extra aperture. I was lucky enough to see Jupiter through the 42" Hall Telescope at Lowell Observatory in Flagstaff, AZ, since their other telescope they typically use was being maintained. It's not meant for public viewing, but they set it up for it. Man, was that the most clear view of Jupiter I have ever seen! It really showed what a large aperture can do.
Hi Trevor,
I am 14 years old, and you’ve inspired me into astro photography since i was 11. I would watch every single one of your videos, and use your advice to help me. I wanted to thank you for this, you’ve helped me come so far in astronomy!
Absolutely stunning. Nature at its best! Thank you Trevor for sharing your experiences.
That reveal with the stars moving in the background.. PLEASE tell me how you did that! That's awesome. When I shoot Jupiter all the stars are too dim. Was it a combination of the same sky without Jupiter and with? Great job, Trevor.
I sadly think the last image is a fake I cant be 100% sure but usually when i take pictures of any kind even using the layer method... it never really works like that because jupiter rotates on its axis about every 9 hours so in a hour if I was trying to get the red spot of Jupiter is that it would have moved and I really wouldnt want the last picture to be mixed in with the first picture and io orbits Jupiter crazy fast so a object can appear twice in a over lapping photo but then again I could be wrong
Wow that's proof Jupiter's just a flat disc, just like flat 🌎 Thank you for the beautiful picture!
Are you crazy
Wow that is unreal! I'm a super novice and always struggle to get my equipment working (backspacing with Celestron NexImage 10 and Celestron 130 SLT does not play nice most of the time) so I haven't really had a change to do that level of processing, but yours is definitely one of the best of Jupiter I've ever seen from an amateur!
My teacher actually has a Meade Lx200 10" sct and he lets us use it. Can't wait to break it out for Jupiter next month! Awesome image as always Trevor! Clear skies.
Got recommended this channel and you werent kidding, even if i didn't see it in person that image of Jupiter is absolutely beautiful. It really does feel magical to see something like that
Incredible, absolutely love your cinematography and commentary ! Thank you
Fabuloso amigo Trevor muy bonita toma y procesado
Thank you for your videos, especially the planetery ones. They've been really helpful and inspirational for many beginners like me!
I think that was nice image of Jupiter. Also, definitely use the 14" next time. You can also use an extension tube with your barlow to increase the magnification. I'm not exactly sure how it scales, but I think that roughly 1" of extension leads to an extra 1x in magnification. Also, do the right thing and use a Televue barlow 🙂
No ee '
Looking good, Trevor! Planetary is tough. It’s aaaaaall about the seeing. You have to either do it all the time and eventually you’ll get an excellent seeing night, or you just get lucky when you haul out the long scope for one night of planetary. It’s fun and rather easy, which is the whole point.
This channel and your overt passion is truly inspiring! Thank you for making videos!
Trevor , your own new home and your skies are so much beautiful nightly skies.
I myself would like to come to your lovely home with my wife to spend a wonderful weekend, but I must warn you that we’re hard of hearing couple with nice hearing devices and no need to talk loud.
Because I fell in love with your landscape and such a nice looking observation skies at night whenever I am able to see Milky Way. It’s telling me it is dark there!!!!!
Dare you to try using a SCT , canon camera D90 or better , No barlow, use 10x digital zoom, live view video capture. Amazing results!
getting my first kit soon, just a basic sky-watcher with a Canon Rebel T7 and a telephoto lens. You're the reason i have started this entire thing
Hey Trevor, having watched Jupiter yesterday evening through my telescope, I came back to your channel since a long time and found this video.
Thanks for sharing!
Greetings from Germany!
I really wish I lived in a dark enough place to do this every night. Its such a relaxing and thrilling hobby. Makes me feel like a big brain NASA astrophysicist or something.
You don't need dark skies to take planetary images
@@adventuresofanamateurastro804 I want to do more nebulae
Beautiful sky
I love take pictures of the planets. It’s my favorite astrophoto. I bought an 9.5inch telescopio weeks ago for this, and only need to wait some days to use it at Jupiter opposition. Before of this, I was using a mak102mm getting very good results.
Lovely to see you out enjoying yourself with this Trevor, and a super shot to finish with too - the 3d effect was really cool!
Clear skies man! :-)
The soundtrack of this video is as phenomenal as capturing a great shot of Jupiter!
Seeing Jupiter and Saturn in conjunction was such a moving sight through a telescope
Nicely summed up Trevor!
Great music and advice! Thanks, Trevor! 👍👍
One reason I love having moved to Southern New Mexico because there are a lot of good seeing nights especially for planets. If it rains and gets the dust out sometimes our transparency is like being on a 10,000 foot mountain (we have one). I set my son up with his 127mm Celestron Maksutov on Saturn and my 150 Canon on video on his Nexstar SLT. I showed him how to use AutoStakkert and he even did Uranus the other night using my 150mm Newtonian with a refigured mirror on my AZPro. I guess he got the bug. Uranus even with a near perfect mirror was still a small light blue ball, can't beat physics. I'm seriously considering a 9.25" OTA for my mount just for planets and double stars.
We had a telescope collecting dust in our garage and, on a whim, I decided to get it out and point it at the moon last night. I noticed a star under the moon and decided to point the telescope at it. To my surprise it was jupiter and its moon. Crystal clear. I could even see the banding.
I had never really done that before. Think I'm gonna keep doing it.
Brilliant production Trevor (over the top) 😂 love the sarcasm. Did you think of using an ADC?
Nice edit my bro!
Making astrophotography an obtainable hobby for us. Thank you for sharing. Just started building my kit
Hi Trevor, i’ve been a fan of your channel for a few years now and I absolutely love the video’s you make.
I had have a video: See how many deep sky targets you can capture in 1 night with multiple telescopes.
1:28 is very rainy in my country rains heavily 3 tiems a day
Brother I am from India
Love you brother 🎉❤❤
Very nicely done! I would agree 100% with using the Dobsonian because aperture is king for planetary photography. I have learnt a huge amount over the past two years, and I'm getting much better results with less effort than in the past. I would also love to give you a summary of the tips I've learnt, but if not anywhere else, then I've listed a few things below.
1. Get your focal ratio to between 5x and 7x your pixel size. For the ASI462, use 4x Barlow (for the Dob). You will have to experiment to see how to achieve this because Barlows are made for visual use and the sensor is further from the visual plane of the Barlow. Televue do make a Barlow for photographic purposes.
2. Don't take my word for it, but you can take 15 minutes of video. Use SharpCap's image tracking and use a small ROI and then just move the Dob from time to time as Jupiter nears the edge of the sensor. I take 3-5 minutes.
3. Slice your video into 30s videos (and timestamp the file name). I preprocess with PIPP to crop and center and also to break the video up into smaller videos.
4. Process each sub-video separately. I use a little bit of wavelet sharpening per image, and I apply the same wavelet filters to each one, but I'm not sure if it's best to do this at this point (I still need to compare results).
5. Stitch the images together in WinJUPOS, then wavelet sharpen the final image, and then do you PP.
Using WinJUPOS for derotation makes an enormous difference.
I love when he describes all the fancy camera equipment. Bro is love to zoom into the stars but all I got is a GoPro 😂
Great video, I recently got a Celestron Evolution 8 and seeing Jupiter through it blows me away every time. Next time I’m going to try to capture it
Can’t wait to see your Jupiter efforts with the dob. Rudy will give you a hand for sure.
Cheers
Nice Trevor! Ya gotta love those wavelets!
Nice final image, but you have to explain the stars in the background (as if the planet was moving through space). It's a cool effect. Thanks again Trevor.
Brilliant !
awesome
Hi Trevor. It seems that you have a CQ350 Skywatcher mount. Could you please make a review video of it? It advance, thank you. Clear skies to you
Under the "More" tab you can increase your red and blue channels to even out with the green then lower your histogram to increase your frame count
Wow goosebumps!!
Name of the song during the reveal?
Ah the great bringer of jollity, a giant and beautiful planet with many moons. Very nice picture Astro Backyard!
flat earthers are kicking and screaming trying to find explanations about how jupiter is literally an angel.
Great pictures! What I want to know is how anyone could claim the Earth is flat and Jupiter small and close when you can clearly see gas surface features. If it were as small as flat earthers claim, then it would not be able to hold an atmosphere so those clouds wouldn't be there.
Great new video bro. Always a pleasure to watch your videos with the family on the big tv.
Hope you’re doing well friend
Excellent.. I am really glad to see such expertise from the common house. Fantastic and keep getting us more videos like this ,,, like Saturn Venus and others
Oooo cant wait to see it!
Hi Trevor
Everyday, I watch
your videos
because I love astrophtography
Trevor, did you try with an atmospheric dispersion corrector? This gets rid of the colour shift when using a colour camera. Really want to see the dob version of Jupiter! Love the video.
Love when you do these
Nice video Trevor, you don't use an ADC , do you? It usually improves the image when the planet is low in the sky. Firecapture provides a feature to set it properly.
I took my first picture of Jupiter around early October of this year and for a beginner at astrophotography I’d say it was a pretty solid photo
Jupiter was my first in 2014😊 I've been an amateur astronomer since, beautiful shots, sir 🤜🤛
Excellent work my friend
I'm struggling with the use of a Barlow and what is the targeted focal point you have found. Will you tell us rookies what's in that image train? Looks like visual back, a 2X Barlow and the 462 camera with a T tube? No ADC. Do you remember how many turns you moved the manual focuser? Must have been a lot? TIA
Man these videos always make me happy
Incredible image of Jupiter - one of the best I have seen. I hope maybe sometime you can get as good of an image of Saturn. I love looking at both Jupiter and Saturn in my Celestron 6se.
Nice image of Jupiter. Hope for clear skies on 3rd Nov :) 👍
Looking at Jupiter in my back yard right now with a small Celestron Mak on a light weight sky watcher AZ-GTi mount. Nothing as cool as what you are using, but I can see it perfect with a 12mm eye piece. Thanks for the work and images Trevor...
Super
The one issue I have in Firecapture is trying to keep it centered in those dots. Just can't figure it out.
i love your video BUT can you make your music lower or your voice higher volume ? we always have to lower the sound when music comes. thanks !
Did you use a Barlow lens for this?
Thank you. I've a C8 with ASI ZWO 290MC. I work on the Mac, where Autostakkert does not work so well. Therefore I use the Planetary Imaging Tool from ASI ZWO. That also works quite well. Finally, as a secret weapon Topaz, that brings out some more detail with AI.
I just love your channel. Inspiring!
Very well done!!!
Go Rudy!
Hi Trevor. Nicely done. I have a question. In your image, how big was Jupiter in terms of pixels? ie if you drew a square around it, how many pixels does it occupy. The camera you used has a size of 1936(w) ×1096(h) pixels. The other day, my 300 mm lens with my Canon R10 gave me Jupiter and 3 moons at about 200x100 pixels out an image that is 6000x4000 pixels so mere specks but still great to see. Jupiter was about 30 pixels square. I wasn't expecting to see anything at such a small focal length and city centre light pollution. I guess using very crude maths, it was 560x560 pixels in size or more, given your telescope with barlow has a focal length of 5600mm.
You still using an old T3i? People keep telling Me to modify mine but it sounds a little scary taking apart something that complex and getting it back together
Beautiful!!!!!! :)
Great video! Are you planning on doing a review of the CQ350 mount? This mount is on my shortlist and I’m wondering what you think about it. Thanks!
Can you try lucky imaging with the 14" SW? That'd be a cool video! Keep it up, I really enjoy your content.
Cool. For me, 900mm and a dslr doesn't make a large image on the sensor. I don't have enough focuser travel to use my 2x Barlow.
Jupiter can be a large red dwarf if it,s 80 or 85× its size.
Хорошо, что астрономы- любители есть по всему миру.
Very nice Trevor!!
That's really amazing dude ❤❤
Wow Beautiful Result 😍🔭
Love From Bharat 🇮🇳
❤️❤️🇮🇳
Nice work!
The Astrophotography community could use a good Fire Capture tutorial with a budget camera like a SvBony Sv305 or ZWO asi224mc.
@Astrobackyard did you used the reducer with your cooler camera for PA with the asiair? After that is done you go to the moon and the mount will keep tracking it? While you change the camera
I just bought the Celeste on 9.25 would u recommend that saw 2x lens for it or would u go with something else
Absolutely insane
I just got Jupiter the other night from my Celestron NextStar Evolution 9.25. I’m over here in Buffalo, NY so conditions were pretty much the same but it’s the best shot I ever got of it. any tips or tricks for a better shot?
Why does the aperture matter in this case? Jupiter is super bright, more light doesn't really help in that case right? Except maybe a higher framerate.
Gorgeous pic as always. Btw nice to see you doing planetary also ❤
I'm not sure which is more expensive....your Celestron 11" setup...or that Yeti cooler!
Hello, I am suprised by the size of your guidescope on your 11" main scope. How did you polar align and guide?
I use the phone ap . Much easier. I don't care about the hand control after using the phone ap. Thank you for sharing as always. HAPPY SKYS.
I'm not into astrophotography yet, but I'm studying now to do so. I just wanted to say that I saw Jupiter and four moons with my Meade ETX 80 a little under 400 bucks. 🤗
It's true. Something does change inside after seeing it. My friend and I were jumping up and down in the street like kids. He has a Celestron and wants to trade with me. Lol. His is a little over 400 bucks. Neither of us have what this dude has by far, but my Meade ETX 80 does the job!
What mount are you using here?
So, I own a Celestrtron Edge C8. How well this setup work with a ZWO planetary Carmela?
Very nice result. Put your dobsonian on EQ mount 😜
6:47 btw where do you live like i can see so many stars and even clusters of them through your camera and the sun hasn't even fully set and moon is out like how ? and what bortle scale ?
